Various people are telling me this is an alright hold of perhaps above mediocre proportions! I have faith in them, and offer michthro chances to see the number 1 flash on his screen approximately 7 times.

I am kind and generous like that.

Twenty minutes was about right. 2S2W was my favorite room, but they were all great. Now, I might just go look at those scrolls.

Keep up the good work.

You've got to be kidding. There's nothing he could possibly put on a scroll that would be worth the effort of clearing all the tar out of 2S3W.

I randomly called it twenty minutes because I figured it would take like, five

it's taking everyone twenty minutes

this is kind of terrifying

I for one thought it was a great hold! I really hope you continue to build stuff Banjooie, you seem to be pretty gifted. 8 with 6.5 brains.

Trust me Stephen, you don't want to know what the scroll says. If you really wanted to know, just check in the editor! It's anyone edit. Ahh... forget that. I didn't see Tahnan's post.

Great hold, Banjooie! The Slayer/Halph room (2S2W) was excellent. Really, all the rooms in the hold are very fun and innovating. Heh, this hold actually took me 34 minutes! You lied, liar!

I gave this hold an 8 and 6 brains. Keep making holds, Banj!

Yeah, it took me quite a bit more than 20 minutes, but mainly because I couldn't figure out how to get the Slayer to back away just right.

That does seem to be the hard room in the hold. I just went nuts practicing slayer manipulation when people talked about how to kill him, I guess? I don't know.

I find it odd that this hold is rated as harder than KDD. Really, really odd.

It took me 8 minutes and I give it a 6 with 2 1/2 brains. Not bad.

I rushed through this, thinking I wouldn't be able to get it done in under 20 minutes. Then it ended up only taking 12 minutes.

As for the puzzles, they mostly relied on hack + slash, and manipulation. The tar rooms were pretty tedious though.

He told you not to read the scroll.

I did, I mean, it was literally a goddamn thing, right there, 'don't read the scroll, it's not worth it'

Also, I will continue to never finish that one hold I was doing that was kind of cool sort of.

Nice hold for a quick DROD session! Good, simple puzzles, not tedious at all. I give it a 7 for fun, and a 4 for difficulty.

Oh, and here's me very inefficiently clearing 2S3W of tar. You knew people were going to do that when you put it there.

Well, yes. However, I was very firm on the point that you did not and frankly /should/ not actually do it.

See, when I was making the room, I realized 'Incredible. This room would be the worst room ever if you actually had to clear the tar.' I could make a secret room that WAS this room except you had to clear the tar, but then I'd be basically the worst person ever. So I just said 'technically you can, have this dumb reward for doing it'.

Fun hold. Mostly because you set the goal to complete it as fast as possible

That was an excellent adventure! I am impressed, Banjooie! Please continue your project! You are quite the architect! I should stop shouting!

First room was probably the hardest, since it takes a while to logic out the solution. Curiously, Once South and Twice South, Twice West were the easiest rooms of the hold, oddly enough. Maybe I am too used to slayer manipulation?

Overall, a great experience to just about anyone that plays. Highly recommended!
